Earlier menopause is linked to faster memory decline and earlier Alzheimer's onset, with stronger risks observed in surgical menopause

Just 10 min of very slow running - at a pace close to walking - can improve mood and executive function, a set of higher-order cognitive processes involved in goal-directed behavior and attention

Scientists identify brain’s brake that shuts off chronic pain

Regular coffee beats decaf in protecting the brain from chronic stress, mouse study finds

Scientists implanted lab-grown human brain tissue into mice and found the neurons survived, integrated with the animals' brain circuits, and responded to sensory signals, providing a new model for studying human neurological disorders.

A small study has found the shape and structure of several regions in the brain's outer layer, measured before treatment, are linked to how much a patient's depression and anxiety symptoms improve after taking an antidepressant.

Autistic language abilities are vastly more complex than “verbal” or “nonverbal”

Every Breath You Take Has a Unique Impact on the Brain. The brain does not simply respond to breathing as a steady rhythm

Family identity is represented within vocal categories by the gerbil auditory cortex

Infants exposed to higher levels of DEHP before birth (a common plastic additive in vinyl furniture upholstery, garden hoses, shower curtains, medical tubing, and vegan leathers) went on to show more autism- and ADHD-related symptoms at ages two and four…
